...This week Levy took a step closer to his dream. He is the co-founder of FairAir, a new service that provides the country's first fully- transferable airline ticket. That's right: you can now buy a ticket on FairAir.com on one of the four participating airlines (Northwest, America West, National and Midway) and you can do what you wish with it. You can use it, you can give the ticket away by legally changing the name on it, or you can actually sell it on the open market through FairAir's website...
...Pacific Northwest National Laboratory study shows how the Federal Government, the largest energy user with 500,000 buildings, could spend $5.2 billion to reduce its energy consumption 20% and recoup the investment in little more than five years.

...prospect of another Travelocity or Expedia that Southwest finds so worrisome, it is who is behind it. Unlike, say, Expedia, which is an independent online travel agent (it's owned by Microsoft) that displays fares provided by all carriers, Orbitz is owned by American Airlines, Continental, Delta, Northwest and United, which alone account for more than three quarters of the total U.S. air travel market. While Orbitz, which is already serving customers ahead of its scheduled launch in June, also includes fares from other airlines, Southwest claims it being treated unfairly on the site, saying that Orbitz is using airline...
